Jasmine did not intend to place the newly built blacksmith shop near the castle to avoid the deafening noise and pitch-black soot, but rather moved it along with the paper mill to the lakeside at the foot of the Black Dragon mountain.
There was a vast, flat expanse of land there with a solid foundation, highly suitable for building expanded industrial structures later on. Most importantly, using water from the lake to cool metal and soak paper pulp was very convenient. The location was also sufficiently concealed, surrounded by dense trees, so ordinary people would not accidentally wander there.
